something is wrong with my uro

Charphy Apr 24, 2004 02:37 PM

Hi,

It's been a while since I posted a message. I was giving my male uro a soak today. He allows he to use my hair dryer to dry him. When I was doing this he acted like he was going to go to the bathroom (sticking his tail up). I raced to the bathroom and noticed it was something strange. It looked like an organ coming from his butt. Within a couple of seconds it wasn't there any more. Is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks for your help.

Kim

I'm really going to go out on a limb here, but maybe that was his er, ah, you know, his "winky". After all, (careful here) you were blowing him....WITH HOT AIR! (Sicko). It just might be his "organ." Now if it's a female, you got me.

Sorry, couldn't resist, but really, if the uro seems normal, and it's a male, that's my best guess.

You're funny!!! I was thinking the same thing but then I read on the internet something about prolapse and that someone's uro died from it. At least I made you laugh. I've had him over 1-1/2 and that's a first.

When it was a prolapse, it would normally not go back in again.
Prolapses are really dangerous.

But in this case my guess would also be that you´ve been flashed

I was worried about it initially as well so I researched it on the net. I soon realized that it was just his "man parts" and nothing to worry about. If it doesn't retract after the bowel movement, then you've got a problem.
Geez, I guess that means Ra "flashed" me, didn't he?
